1,2-Dichloroethane → Phenylmethyl 4-[(4-pyridinylamino)carbonyl]-1-piperidinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In DMF (5 mL), 1-[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]-4-piperidinecarboxylic acid (P. E. Maligres et al., Tetrahedron, 53:10983 (1997)) (1.00 g, 3.80 mmol), 4-aminopyridine (572 mg, 6.08 mmol), EDC (801 mg, 4.18 mmol), and HOAt (569 mg, 4.18 mmol) were combined and aged under N2 for 4 h. The reaction was partitioned between sat. NaHCO3 and ethyl acetate. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organics were washed with water and brine then dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure, affording 1.16 g of benzyl 4-[(4-pyridinylamino)carbonyl]-1-piperidinecarboxylate as a yellow oil which was used without further purification.
